When I brought coworkers for lunch it became at least once a week meetup till I retired. I still go as often as I can to meet friends, family and the great staff.“

Honestly couldn’t recommend enough, the food / drink / staff, were SO lovely! Thank you so much for making it so special x“

“Friendly community gathering spot. Pub sings, jam sessions, and gatherings of morris dancers are why I end up here, that they are at Merlins because Merlins has always been enormously welcoming. It's our community home.“

“Great beer at a reasonable price. Delicious burger and jalapeño Mac and cheese bites. Nice friendly wait staff. Love it there!!“

“The Gnome has great food and excellent service.“

“Stopped in at Frenchman’s Pub on a Sunday afternoon, wanted a classic neighborhood dive and this was it.

Got the Le Mac burger with fries, good size, cooked right, solid straightforward burger for the price.

Kendra was a great server, checked in a lot, kept my soda full, and ran the whole room without missing a beat.

Full bar, few TVs, about ten stools, good energy but never felt packed.

Heads up, burgers come with chips, fries run a few bucks extra but worth it.

Old school spot since 1933, five stars for a laid back bar food stop.“

“Had many more dishes on the iron range“

“Today, they had a Bloody Mary with special toppings. My fav! It’s not a regular thing but they have different things going on so it’s nice to stop by and check it out. They have the wheel and pull tabs. Ohhh…darts too. It’s a cash only bar so make sure you bring cash. Love the bartender, Rachel.“

“They have some of the best wins, they have remodeled lanes, they do have a nice bar and restaurant and the service is always awesome. parking lot with handicap ♿ entrance, good 🍕 pizzas, good burgers 🍔, a devoted variety of beers 🍻.“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“The Bulldog is a pretty standard place, warm beer, stiff drinks, but the reason I'm giving it a five star review is because of our server Hannah. She was AWESOME! She was also friendly, attentive and accommodating. We would go back to the Bulldog just because of her. Thank you Hannah for bringing some joy to our hang!“

“King Boreas (aka: Peter Kenefick) and his staff know how to run a Friendly/Welcoming Restaurant - great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere - ALWAYS!“

“One of Saint Pauls' historic establishments located on W. 7th just south of downtown. The reuben sandwich was quite possibly one of the best I have ever had. Very tender and even good to eat the next day. We sat out in the covered patio area with a retractable roof for warmer days and we're perfectly comfortable the whole time. Prices were reasonable and the server was on point with everything we needed. Seasonal drinks were delicious! 5 out of 5 and would definitely visit again.“

“Wonderful service, great food and fun atmosphere!“

“When I was in college I would occasionally frequent the blue door on campus. When my friend and I visited town recently we went to the longfellow location as the university location was closed that day. This was just as great and honestly was probably a bit quieter too. Their Blucy's are what you go for!“

“Great music, great value. Don’t get a tap beer. Lines are not cleaned.“

“Great eats! Can’t go wrong with a few local beers and some fish n chips!“

“I got into Minneapolis at 1130am, and wanted to get a bite to eat. Almost all of the eating establishments in the area were closed, except this place. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere, and great music. You can tell that this is a 'locals favorite'. Put this place on your list, as a good place to chill.“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Excellent vibe. Great place for happy hour and to gamble. Love the pulltab girl ❣️❣️“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“This place has character! One of the chefs, Nate, let me try a new creation of his. I’m not sure if it’s going to become a menu item but it was the best burger I’ve had in a while. The house kettle chips were so thin and crispy, also the best I’ve had possibly ever. I’m not a fan of buffalo or blue cheese typically, but I trusted his taste with this burger and boy I’m glad I did. 10/10! Everything went together so well. It’s not on the menu but I hope it will be soon. He called it the “Beefalo” I’ll be back for it soon!“

“When I eat I drink Bloody Mary's they just taste better with my food if I feel like a drink, let me tell you I had a very reasonable priced Bloody Mary and it was on Point I could taste everything in the drink a first for me and it had all the fixings as well, I appreciated that. They also have a place too eat Pop's and Son grill I ordered 4 wings and a brisket topped Baked potato I asked for my wings hard didn't get that but they tasted ok and the brisket was not a lot but also good I didn't bring my wings back because they seemed real busy they brought me someone else's food at first them my order and I appreciated Who I assume was Pop came and talked to his customer's checking on them and their food they gave us A 1 service I work in kitchen's and understand things happen sometimes it's how you react to the situation and after that matters the most and they gave the all. I will try them again because they food is good, and they fact they was busy, busy so that let me know a lil sum People like they food I was also asking people in the line about food and if they been here before and I got more yes than no and good food I heard ok Pop and Sons I'll be back..the bar also had karaoke A good time was had Thanks Cheers“

“Had a quick dinner tonight with the kid. Service was amazing (Lex) food came out fast and hot. Had the birria grilled cheese with the L13 tots (fabulous btw) and the smashed potato bowl. Will definitely be back!“

“Our favorite pub in Como Park to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with fries, cheese curds and the coldest beer in Saint Paul. Beautiful view of the golf course and Como Lake. Patio seating or indoor tables. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this!“

“OMG!!! I wasn't sure what to expect from this restaurant within the Hilton, but was I ever surprised!\nI ordered the Seared New York Strip with fingerling potatoes, asparagus and broccoli, and it was PERFECT! The steak was cooked to order, with seasons that kept me (a definite salt person) from ruining it by putting salt on it! It didn't need it. \nThe wait staff were great, and so nice, even after I spilled my water all over the table and floor. I wish I could have sampled some of their wine to go with the steak, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible. Honestly, the food didn't need it. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the area!“

“We had a private party on Saturday and have nothing but praise for all the staff. Very helpful and everyone was so pleased with our food choices. Highly recommend Lucky’s 13 Roseville! Thank you.“

“One of Minnesota's best local eatery. "FROGTOWN WING!!!"“

“Will was our bartender and server. He was absolutely amazing and accommodating. I would give this a five star experience. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Great food and speedy friendly service!“

“Sweeney's was fantastic for hosting our large event. Their Oak Room space was perfect for a group of 120ish people, event staff were extremely helpful in setting up food, drinks, and fun for our guests and took great care of us the night of. Highly recommend as both a neighborhood bar, and as a place to host an event of any size.“

“Maybe another startup with great coffee ! 🙂😊“

“Great Chicken BLT Salad! Everyone at the table was pleased with their meals. I would definitely come again!!“
